How can I incorporate nature or outdoor elements into summer crafts for kids?
To include nature or outdoor elements in your summer crafts in addition to the birdfeeder or rock painting activities suggested already, consider crafts like making leaf prints, creating flower pressings, assembling stick sculptures, or stacking rocks.
Can you recommend any summer crafts that focus on developing specific skills, like fine motor skills or color recognition?
For crafts that focus on developing specific skills, try threading beads or weaving for fine motor skills, color mixing activities for color recognition, or pattern-making crafts like mosaic tiles or beadwork.
Can you suggest any online resources, blogs, or websites for finding summer arts ideas?
